Clean Your Glass Properly Fact: there is a difference between clean and beer-clean! A glass that has been run through a dishwasher or hand washed with dish soap will appear perfectly clean but there can be residue left behind in the glass that can aide in ruining a perfectly crafted beer. This will show itself in the form of tiny carbonation bubbles, sometimes in clusters, clinging to the side of your glass. These nucleation points are the death of beer as it will create rapid evaporation of CO2 which will destroy the head and head retention. This is where all of the volatile aromatics of beer live and without a beautiful aroma, one cannot properly taste the beer in their glass. One way to avoid this is to use a dishwasher with low suds detergent and once air dried, use a soft cloth to polish the inside of the glass. Avoid cloths that shed fibers as they can be left behind in the beer. Using the same glass at home during a drinking session? The best way to get it back to being beer-clean is to give it a few cold or warm water rinses until all previous beer remnants are washed away. These extra steps help in enjoying a beer at its peak potential. Trust us, the brewers who worked tirelessly to hand make the beer will appreciate it. ---------------------------- |
